When you buy the Anya shoulder bag pattern you will digitally receive two PDF documents:

the pattern printable at home on A4 or standard US letter paper (in ONLY FOUR PAGES pictured above)

23 page instruction document with full information about this project, including colour photographs illustrating the step-by-step construction method.

It is advised that you follow the instructions directly from your computer/laptop/tablet screen rather than printing them out to save paper and ink. However, the final page of the instructions document has a single-page condensed version of the construction method, which you could print out to keep next to your sewing machine to help you through. This is ideal if you have used this pattern previously and just need your memory jogged a little.

"I really liked the pattern and I found it very simple to put together, but it seems a lot fancier than a lot of other basic bag patterns." - Emily V

"It was a lovely project for a very wet Yorkshire afternoon this week and I loved making it! It was satisfying to make as all the pieces fitted together perfectly and resulted in a pretty bag, which my daughters are already coveting!" - Elisabeth from Glazzard blog
